Awesome!! Glad you had fun and it's all working out the way you want. [thumbsup] How cool is that? ;D
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

The Grange track out in Apple Valley charges only $30.00 all day.  The will also let you camp for free in the parking lot/paddock/pit area.   [thumbsup]

I was out there on my YSR50 mixing it up with the 450SM's one day.  It was pretty hairy!  :o

They were totally cool, though and only passed us on the straights, or the outside.

It's pretty crazy to have your knee on the ground, both ends wiggling around, and have a guy come around you all crossed up, boiling the rear tire!  [laugh]  Fun times!  [moto]

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

See how easy that was?

Looks like a lot of fun.

My next bike will probably be something similar

Curious how it's going so far....I'm really wanting to get some track time/school/instruction....but I'm not financially ready to make the "dedicated" track bike buy.

Since I can't afford to rebuild my monster if I throw it down (and don't believe in reporting a track crash to insurance), I have no choice but something less $$$.

I'd need about 600$ including the tires to make the katoom track worthy, but I'm concerned that it's not going to have enough top-end to get down the straights.  I'm not looking to go warp 9, but I don't think buzzing the thing at redline for a minute each lap will be good for the motor.

CMP is where I would run it....do you find the DRZ sitting on the limiter for ever to get to the next corner?

Thoughts?
